Hi all

After a bit of work I've got my pump working, cleaned the connections on my taps and all looks ok.

Does anyone have a wiring diagram or able to explain how it should be wired?

In the washroom the tap works and the pump operates.
From the kitchen, it doesn't. If I switch the taps around, it's still the washroom that works....so the issue is the wiring.

Think i've sussed it on a diagram!
Could I send it to someone to check my logic?

Writing it down if you can follow:

+ve from battery to terminal 1 in connector
terminal 1 to +ve on pump
-ve on pump terminal 2 in connector
Terminal 2 to tap 1
Tap 1 to terminal 3 in connector
Terminal 3 to -ve on battery

That's the circuit for the first tap?

Then to add the second tap:

Terminal 2 to tap 2
Tap 2 to terminal 3 in connector
Terminal 3 to -ve on battery

Then that's it isn't it?....or have I missed something?

And should I be switching the +ve rather than the -ve?

Thanks

I did it!

That series above works.

I've also done it off the positive switching rather than negative - good practice according to a friend of mine!
